173
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the USA. Judges make important choices there. Donald Trump wants to fire Lisa Cook. She works at the board of the Fed. Trump claims she lied about a house loan. Lisa Cook says: This is not true.
The court supports Lisa Cook. A president cannot fire members of the Fed. The Fed must keep its independence. This helps the economy stay strong. Lisa Cook keeps her job for now.
The court also decides a case about sexual abuse. A jury finds Trump guilty in 2023. He attacked E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Later he spoke bad things about her. Trump must pay 5 million dollars. He wants to stop this. The court says no. The rule stays true.
But Trump wins in another case. He can fire heads of some agencies now. This is for the consumer protection agency. The court changes an old rule from 1935. Trump is happy. He wants more power over agencies in the USA.
